Castle Tucker, built in 1807, was the dream home of Judge Silas Lee and his wife Tempe, who enjoyed an elegant lifestyle in their new home.

Hear the stories of this talented and unusual family as seen through the collection of personal with their furnishings, belongings and décor, including the 1858 parlor and a kitchen with four generations of cooking technology still in place where it was used.
